About this song
Long before Bolas or Ugin wore their godhood, Vaevictis Asmadi was the apex predator that taught the world law through tooth and claw. This is the song of the Dire Dragon's hunger, a chaotic force that shatters thrones only to raise stranger gods from the ash. Witness the primal rage of Dominaria's first war.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] Before the gods had learned to walk I taught my brood to wing and stalk The Dire hunger, the Dire claw The thing the bleeding world called law Bolas, Ugin — born beside me kin and rivals, roar for roar Long before they wore their godhood I was hunger, I was war [Pre-Chorus] Tooth and talon, scale and claw What I hunger for, I devour What I strike at, I will undo What I take, I take by power [Chorus] What you love, I will take What you build, I will break And from the ash beneath your throne A stranger thing will wake For every shrine I shatter A stranger god is made I am the chaos in the wager That the brave have always paid [Verse 2] I do not feast on single prey The mountains keep my brood in mind The rivers redden where I land And every plain I leave behind A thousand of my children fly With teeth I taught them how to take The line of dragons, scale and sky Is built upon the wars I make [Pre-Chorus] Tooth and talon, scale and claw What I hunger for, I devour What I strike at, I will undo What I take, I take by power [Chorus] What you love, I will take What you build, I will break And from the ash beneath your throne A stranger thing will wake For every shrine I shatter A stranger god is made I am the chaos in the wager That the brave have always paid [Bridge] But the cleverest of cousins Reached into my brother's mind And the rage I made my weapon Turned the weakest of my kind They tore through what I treasured With spears I could not stay And the apex of the predators Fled the ruin they had made [Final Chorus] What you love, I will take What you build, I will break And from the ash beneath your throne A stranger thing will wake Where I rose, the world remembers What I left, it carries still I am the chaos in the wager And the wager is hunting still [Outro] We may raid where we wish... We may raid where we wish...
